Yorkster, thanks so much for the M C coloration and breed standards information. Both of your Maine Coons sound very pretty, and I am partial to white cats anyway. I was beginning to think that my Prince is somewhat uncommon, because of the defeciency of examples of all one-color Maine Coons.
Yesterday I got him to lay beside me on the pillow, that is kept next to the keyboard. This morning after feeding, he came and layed on it of his own accord, next to his littermate, Tiara. Now, I'm beginning to wonder now if both of his littermates, Pepper and Tiara(both torties), although both are females, are not also Maine Coons, because they are somewhat larger than the other cats of similiar ages Now Prince is beginning to play "chase and wrestle", which is a game for older cats, and not so adapted for a 2-month old. Also, I looked over the show requirements for Maine Coons on the internet, (I believe it was the American Cat Fanciers Assoc.) Silver Prince fit all categories for a show cat except the color of his paw pads. They said that his pads should also be gray like his nose leather. However, they are megenta in color, not quite a lavender and not a pink, but a darker combination of the two.
